Russia responds to Trump’s ‘paper tiger’ criticism

The country is usually described as a “bear” rather than other animals, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has joked

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has rejected US President Donald Trump’s description of Russia as “a paper tiger,”joking that the country is more commonly compared to a bear.

On Tuesday, following his meeting with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, Trump said he believes that Kiev is “in a position to fight and win all of Ukraine back,” if the EU and NATO continue to support it.

He compared Russia to a “paper tiger,”claiming that the country is in “BIG Economic trouble” and that “this is the time for Ukraine to act.”

In an interview with Russian business daily RBK on Wednesday, Peskov disagreed with the US leader. “Russia is not a tiger. Russia is more often associated with a bear. There are no such things as ‘paper bears,’ and Russia is a real bear,” he quipped.

Trump: Ukraine can fight to WIN over Russia! /Lt Col Daniel Davis

 

Danny criticizes Trump’s sudden policy shift on Ukraine, saying his shifting deadlines and contradictory statements show instability and undermine trust in U.S. leadership. Russia hasn’t reacted immediately but will take it seriously, seeing it as America abandoning diplomacy and effectively green-lighting unlimited Western support for Ukraine.

They argue Russia knows NATO cannot or will not fight a full-scale war, and if forced, Moscow would likely escalate, even with tactical nuclear weapons, especially against vulnerable regions like the Baltics or Poland. NATO’s forces there are weak, and Russia has the industrial capacity to sustain conflict while the West lags.

The speaker warns this pivot convinces Russia it has no partner for peace, only adversaries, which could fuel preparations for a larger NATO–Russia conflict. They question Trump’s rationality, suggesting this move damages his credibility and could spiral into dangerous miscalculations.

Finally, they note Trump dismissed his supposed relationship with Putin as meaningless, contradicting years of his own claims. This shows he never had a real deal with Moscow, since Russia’s conditions for peace have always been clear and unchanged. For Russia, Trump was at least someone to talk to—but now, even that may be gone.

METHINKS THAT TRUMP IS GIVING ALL THE IMPETUS FOR RUSSIA TO DESTROY YUCKRAINE ASAP, WHILE LETTING LITTLE ZELENSKY THINKS HE HAS AMERICA IN HIS POCKET.

PRESENTLY UKRAINE CANNOT HOLD A PAPER BAG ON THE FRONT AND CONTEND ITSELF IN BOMBING CIVILIANS IN RUSSIA FROM TIME TO TIME... SO THE BODY COUNT IN 24 HOURS IS 1,126 UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS KILLED, 6 RUSSIAN CIVILIANS KILLED AND 10 RUSSIAN SOLDIERS KILLED... THE LOSS OF NATO HARDWARE IN UKRAINE AMOUNTS TO MORE THAN $100 BILLION DESTROYED, PRESENTLY AT A RATE OF $3 BILLION A MONTH...

MEANWHILE:

President Vladimir Putin said last week that the country “is still far from a recession,” citing the “historically low unemployment rates.”  

The governor of Russia’s central bank, Elvira Nabiullina, also recently dismissed the rumors about recession. “The economy is slowing, but there is no recession,” she said at the Moscow Financial Forum last week. 

The nation’s military have also been steadily advancing on the front lines for months. Moscow’s forces had taken control of 3,500 square kilometers and 149 settlements since March, Chief of the General Staff General Valery Gerasimov reported in late August.

Col Doug Macgregor: NATO's LAST GASP /Drawing U.S. into War Defending Ukraine

 

Doug argues that recent Western/Polish rhetoric and incidents (drones/debris, threats at the UN) are exaggerated, dangerous "hot air" that risk accidental escalation with Russia, while Europe is politically unstable and militarily unprepared to change the situation — and Russia, in the speaker’s view, is strategically stronger and unlikely to want full-scale war but is being provoked.

Main points (structured)

Incidents in Poland / the drone story

Claims that strikes/launches “didn't have much success” against the airborne targets — fewer than 20% hit.

An investigation (source: someone on the ground in Poland) found debris on a Polish house was not from a UAV but from an unexploded munition fired by jets.

The speaker treats the whole episode as exaggerated (“hot air”) and a provocation intended to drag the U.S. and NATO toward a war with Russia.

Poland’s military capacity and political posture

Praise for the professionalism of the Polish army (compared favorably to Germany, France, UK) but described as too small and lacking the depth/experience/organizational capacity to launch or sustain a major offensive into Russia/Ukraine.

Notes Polish leaders’ statements — President (name transcribed as Navroszki) saying Polish soldiers will not fight in Ukraine — seen by the speaker as the one sensible declaration from him.

Risk of accidental escalation

The speaker is worried that blustery rhetoric and demonstrations of readiness create an illusion of capability that invites miscalculation.

A specific accident along the NATO–Russian contact line could ignite a broader war; hence rhetoric should “cool off.”

UN/Polish Foreign Minister Sakorski’s remarks

Sakorski’s UN warning to Russia (referencing Hitler–Stalin pact and telling Russia “You have been warned”) is characterized as cocky and provocative.

The speaker mocks the speech as theatrical and suggests it was written by politically connected figures (references to Anne Applebaum, Jack Keane) who are “globalist/neocon” in orientation.

Historical framing and blame

The speaker makes controversial historical claims: emphasizes Stalin/communism’s role in WWII outcomes, argues Western leaders (FDR, Stalin) miscalculated early wartime plans, and uses history to criticize current European elites.

Presents a narrative that European “globalists” (named leaders and generic elites) are out of touch and are steering Europe toward undesirable outcomes (open borders, surveillance states, economic decline).

Russian capabilities and posture

Russia is portrayed as having a battle-hardened military and a modern approach linking ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) to strike systems, creating battlefield dominance.

The speaker thinks Russia is not eager for war with NATO/West — they already control much of historically Russian terrain and prefer negotiated outcomes — but they will resist a Ukraine that could be a staging ground against Russia.

European politics and domestic pressure

Europe is described as politically volatile: demonstrations in London/Paris, votes of no confidence, and the possibility governments could change quickly.

The speaker argues Europeans could remove current leaders and redirect spending away from Ukraine toward domestic needs.

Rhetoric vs. reality

Repeated theme: bold talk by European politicians is “empty rhetoric” that creates dangerous illusions of strength and readiness.

The speaker repeatedly calls such rhetoric “nonsense,” “hot air,” and “dangerous” because it raises the risk of accidental conflict.

 

====================

 

SOME PEOPLE WONDER WHY NATO COUNTRIES DO NOT GO IN YUCKRAINE AND FIGHT THE RUSSIANS... THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE: THIS WOULD BE A DECLARATION OF WAR BY NATO AGAINST RUSSIA. IN THIS CASE, EUROPEAN COUNTRIES (AND THE USA) BECOME LEGITIMATE TARGETS. SAY GOODBYE TO PARIS, LONDON AND BERLIN WITHIN 20 MINUTES. NEW YORK HAS 30 MINUTES.....

SEE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32BRR6o56vI

SO NATO IS DOING THE MAXIMUM IT CAN GET AWAY WITH, OVERTLY AND UNOFFICIALLY... SAY, SENDING WEAPONS WITH "INSTRUCTORS" TO HELP THE YUCKRAINIANS PULL THE TRIGGERS... BY MY PERSONAL COUNT, MORE THAN 1,000 NATO "INSTRUCTORS" HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THIS CONFLICT... OF COURSE THE COUNTRIES TO WHICH THESE "INSTRUCTORS" BELONG TO, KEEP THIS UNDER WRAPS...

I THINK I SAW OUR ALBO SHAKE HAND WITH THE MENDICANT FASCIST ZELENSKAKA AT THE UNITED NATIONS... ZELENSKYYYYYY IS A CON-ARTIST AND ALBO SHOULD KNOW BETTER. BUT ALBO MAY KNOW SOMETHING I DON'T — THOUGH I THINK IT'S THE REVERSE.

STOP STANDING WITH YUCKRAINE, ALBO: THE KIEV REGIME IS RUN BY NAZIS.

 

MAKE A DEAL PRONTO BEFORE THE SHIT HITS THE FAN:

NO NATO IN "UKRAINE" (WHAT'S LEFT OF IT)

THE DONBASS REPUBLICS ARE NOW BACK IN THE RUSSIAN FOLD — AS THEY USED TO BE PRIOR 1922. THE RUSSIANS WON'T ABANDON THESE AGAIN.

THESE WILL ALSO INCLUDE ODESSA, KHERSON AND KHARKIV.....

CRIMEA IS RUSSIAN — AS IT USED TO BE PRIOR 1954

TRANSNISTRIA WILL BE PART OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

A MEMORANDUM OF NON-AGGRESSION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE USA.

 

EASY.

 

THE WEST KNOWS IT.
